#DravidianModel Propaganda as Signaling – notes
July 11, 2024

It is a long-standing, very well-known & an established fact that Tamilnadu’s infamous #DravidianModel scum (mostly represented by DMK & assorted Tamil Supremacists) have consistently hated from the bottom of their poisonous hearts, the following:
- Bharat
- Bharatiyata AKA Hinduism AKA Sanatana Dharma
- Scheduled Communities (Castes & Tribes)
- Sanskrit & Hindi
- Hindu temples
- ‘North’
- ‘Northies’
- Banias
- Brahmins
- Tamil traditions, including Tamil language
…That’s because, #DravidianModel is built ONLY on HATE. There is nothing that even close to ‘ideology’ as far as Dravidians are concerned – and this hate seems to be sufficient for them!
It is a verifiable fact that #DravidianModel does not have one single development indicator (for which it can claim credit) to speak of; in this respect, it is an unique institution, even worse than Nazis. At least, the abominably criminal Nazis had some redeeming feature, like pushing for economic growth & national pride.
Of course Dravidians don’t even have a SINGLE redeeming feature. But it does not prevent these scum from strutting around like virile peacocks, claiming all kinds of fantastic ‘achievements.’
But then, am digressing.

Like perhaps many, I had always wondered about the relentless #DravidianModel hate propaganda in TN; had thought, it was merely meant to ‘brainwash’ Tamils – though it is flimsy, silly & unpersuasive.
But, it appears that there is more to it, as a fine scholar Haifeng Huang describes – and it warrants a fresh look.
I used to subscribe to the rather naive common-model that, since Tamil people get exposed to the same Dravidian scum message repeatedly & over time…
…they come to believe in whatever nonsense the authoritarian, Goebbelsian #DravidianModel Establishment wants them to believe.
This is also true, but it does not explain the societal situation of TN at all – especially when, importantly, the #DravidianModel propaganda contradicts reality.
Reality:
A. Tamils/Dravidians(!) are NOT controlled by a miniscule % Tamil Brahmin Illuminati scheming all the time
B. Social injustices in TN have their roots ONLY in the Goebbelsian #DravidianModel

Given the above facts, the question is, why do #DravidianModel scum continue with their hate-propaganda…
- Knowing fully well that they are lies
- And that, practically everyone knows that they are verifiable as lies?
Reason: #DravidianModel propaganda is also intended to instill fear in people, including ‘non-brahmins’ – not merely ‘brainwash.’
#DravidianModel messaging in this context is:
You may NOT hold pro-Dravidian values(!) or attitudes.
…But we will make sure you are too fearful/’bought’ to do anything about it.
…Explains why most of the majority ‘non-brahmin’ social groups/jatis & ‘intellectuals’ are totally silent on #DravidianModel hate?
